You mean like take photos

It's a lot easier snapping pictures yourself and getting the developed than it is filming a wedding with a camcorder and getting it out to a VHS tape or DVD. Plenty of wedding videographers will make a fortune and I completely disagree with the statement it's a dying trend. With the improvement in technology across the board from the camcorders to the authoring to DVD it is very much a growing industry.

All you need to do is go to wedding fayres (and goodness only knows there are enough of them in our area) and show your work - just like photographers do. After all, how many wedding photographers are there compared to videographers? They're the ones who need to be really competitive with their pricing. You put up a show of some good videos at a fayre and I believe you will get work.

Just don't put up the sinister one you're doing for the competition :twisted:
